Sometimes it Pays to be Absent-Minded

As The Wife and my Kid Sister will tell you, I have a tendency to forget about things, particularly things in the microwave.  I'll put a bowl of oatmeal (or whatever) in to cook while I do something else and completely forget about it for hours or days.

On an unrelated note, today I was reading blogs when I decided I wanted something to drink.  I wandered into the kitchen to find, surprise surprise, a cup of tea waiting for me in the microwave.  It was warm and perfectly steeped and everything.

Wow, the dog is getting well-trained.
